I really enjoyed this collection of dark romances, they are all pretty quick so if you need an easy and to the point dark romance/spicy story this is the one for you! I didn't read them all in one go, which I think made them better, because I feel like if I read them back to back it would feel like the same book over and over again.

This was steamy and I really love how quickly I got through all these stories. I definitely recommend this if you're looking for some quick easy reads.

i really struggled through reading this and kept ushing through with "the stories are short and this terrible novella will be over soon" but every one was just as disappointing as the last ((in my own opinion obviously)) the tags and summaries were all amazing but the actual stories fell short for me.

most stories felt like i was missing a whole bunch of context from books i should've read first and then a bunch didn't end with a HEA which i'm assuming is so you're hooked and read a followup novel?

overall it wasn't for me but i can see if you need a quick and dirty read in between books that some of these stories might hit the mark for some readers

TW: including but definitely not limited to: mental health, dubious consent, murder, SA, miscarriage, death of a child, death of sibling, death of parent, kidnapping of child, kidnapping of adult, terminal care, blackmail, torture

Sadly I didn't get to download this before it archived. I hate I missed the opportunity to read this book, however I have faith it was amazing .

Ooo the steam coming off of this book!!!! I definitely picked up some new authors to stalk. Despite all the of these stories being based off of similar tropes, the authors did a very good job at personalizing their stories. This made it so I didn’t feel like i was reading the same thing over and over again

I really loved this collection of spicy stories. I much prefer that they are quick and to the point. I highly recommend if you are looking for quick reads in one big book.

A Dark Romance Anthology

4/5⭐️
4/5 🌶️
This Book will be coming out

✨✨✨✨✨✨
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of dark billionaires romances..this will truly be perfect. I love the book a lot because it had just so many different plots and love stories throughout it never got boring. I’ve never actually read an anthology before so that was very much new to me. However trying new things lately with books is just proving me right.

Throughout reading you’ll end up meeting a range of 12 different “couples”. Some have mono em each other previously while others have just met that day. I found myself getting lost in their stories and feeling as if I was in it with them.

📚📚📚
If you enjoy:
~ hate/love
~ sweet and steamy
~ instalove
~ bdsm clubs
~ forbidden
~ stalking
~ brothers ex
~ baseball
… you should definitely check this out

This whole anthology is basically just the same book over and over. I get there can’t be much differences in these types of stories but they’re pretty heavy copy and paste of each other. It was kind of disappointing cause I ended up not fully finishing it.

Thank you to @netgalley for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy of dirty billionaires. this was really cool, several authors wrote different adult novellas and put them together in this book. it was pretty good to for a short story.

A good assortment of dark romances. I found most tobe quite good. Good writing for the most part. Found a few new authors to read.

Posted the same review on Goodreads.

3.5 stars. As almost always in anthology I enjoyed some more than others but a nice way to get a "sample" of different authors. I liked that the stories varied in content and tropes from each other. On the darker side of romance but nothing that felt triggering for me. Liked the first one the best and could easily read a whole book about the couple.

This is the perfect read if you are in search of some hot steamy action. I really enjoyed it. Just like I knew I would lol can’t go wrong with the heat!

I have mixed feelings about this. It’s billed as an anthology but mostly they’re snippets of larger stories. They don’t feel like finished works they feel like advertisements. It wasn’t an enjoyable reading experience. I did really enjoy the second story which had a definite instalove vibes so the characters had instant chemistry. The first was not for me, and the the third was a dnf. After that it was a bit of a blur. That chemistry bit was the major problem across the board for me. I couldn’t enjoy the characters relationships because they felt like the same cardboard characters a lot of the time.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for giving me an ARC to review.

This is an anthology of short romance stories focusing on billionaires. The score I have given is an average score based on my opinion and tastes. I have summarised below:

1. The Billionaire's Obsession by Sahara Roberts

4 stars - I enjoyed this one and would be interested to read more than the short version in this anthology.

2. Captive Desires by Evie Rose

3 stars - This would have been 4 stars because I was thoroughly enjoying and into it until the breeding. It just gives me the ick! The epilogue was very sweet though.

3. Deal with the Devil by Dori Pulitano

4 stars - enjoyed.

4. Villainous Soul by Finley Brown

3 stars - ok

5. Choose Me by Shanjida Nusrath Ali

DNF - Far too formal writing style and just wasn't feeling it.

6. Ashes by Fiona Allen

DNF - I felt the writing style was a bit too immature for the audience.

7. Dirty Halo by Simone Leigh

5 stars - A quick naughty story with a happy ending.

8. Solitaire Mansion by Ivy Nelson

5 stars - This was by far the best one. I loved it. I can't wait to read the other books linked to this.

9. The Club by Isabel Jolie

5 stars - Really enjoyed. The twist was great. albeit predictable.

10. Mistaking Stone by Amy Stephens

3 stars - This was ok, but I felt a bit demeaning towards women's bodies.

11. Tricks of the Trade by Paedon Sims

DNF - Sports romances just aren't for me.

12. Manhattan Billionaire by Sass Green

2 stars - This just moved far too quickly and was just meh.

Overall, there are a mix of some mediocre and some amazing stories in this anthology. I have picked out a few of my 5 stars and looked up the authors other works.

Extensive...

It's a plethora of Daddies. Plenty of the games they like to play cuz money opens many things.
There were a lot of new to me authors along with some very familiar authors in this collection.
Recommend.
4.5 stars

Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, collection of stories by incredibly talented authors, and riveting must read romances.

My review:
I went into this anthology blindly and didn’t know what to expect. It was also my first time reading any of these authors.

The stories I liked the most were Dirty Halo by Simone Leigh, Choose Me by Shanjida Nusrath Ali, which was a hot and steamy novella and Deal with the Devil by Dori Pulitano, which for a short story, this novella had everything: drama and a bit of action —one of my favourites from this anthology!

There were also stories funny and cute that I really enjoyed reading were The Club by Isabel Jolie and Villainous Soul by Finley Brown. But this last one’s epilogue ending on a cliffhanger left me frustrated to know more about the main characters.

The Billionaires Obsession by Sahara Roberts had so much potential but it somehow left me wondering for more. The end was so open, it felt incomplete —i even thought it was just a preview from the actual novel.

My jaw dropped when I found out that Ashes by Fiona Allen was a reverse retelling of Cinderella, but yet again it was incomplete.

Some of the other stories didn’t stick out to me, as for Captive Desires by Evie Rose, Tricks of the Trade by Paedon Sims and Manhattan Billionaire by Sass Green. And some others that gave me mixed feelings, such as Solitaire Mansion by Ivy Nelson and Mistaking Stone by Amy Stephens.

Overall, I relished reading this dark romance anthology that has a story for everyone’s taste.

Who I recommend this book to?
• People who like steady and fast romances.
